Chris Nye teaches on Worship = Sacrifice…

The message this week was on Sacrifice, which is another way of talking about what we value. At its core, sacrifice is giving up or letting go of something that is valuable in order to gain something that has longer lasting value. Put like this, it’s clear that we sacrifice every day, but not always for the right things. See, we don’t need to just start sacrificing different things, but we need to get at the root: what do we value? Sometimes we sacrifice sleep because we want to watch a TV show, or sometimes we sacrifice money for a pair of shoes we think will give us long lasting happiness.

The truth is, we know how to sacrifice, but we don’t value the right things. In getting to know God and understanding what he has done for us through the gospel, it is clear that he is to be valued, and that we can sacrifice anything in order to gain the total joy he gives.
